New Archive release: Audrey's Dance bundle

The Twin Peaks Archive returns this week with a fantastic 11-track bundle that really fills in some holes in the collection. Finally releasing a few tracks that were used quite often in the series. I'll be splitting this release into a few posts. First up is the "Audrey's Dance" bundle.Aside from the original version that was released on the original soundtrack and the "Percussion & Clarinets" version that was released previously from the Archive, there were an additional 5 versions of "Audrey's Dance" used in the series. All of which are included in this release.Audrey’s Dance (Fast) (Clean) (3:40)Pilot: Bobby and Shelly in Bobby’s carEpisode 04: Josie takes pictures at the Timber Falls MotelEpisode 24: Pete figures out chess movesEpisode 25: Great Northern; Donna follows her mom, Mike and Nadine check out, Donna asks Audrey about her mom & BenAudrey’s Dance (Clean) (5:15)Pilot: Bobby arrives at school, is summoned to the officePilot: Bobby is interrogated by the police in the school libraryPilot: Bobby & Mike go to Donna’s housePilot: James is put into a jail cell across from Bobby & MikePilot: Bobby & Mike bark at James in the jail cellsEpisode 01: Bobby & Mike in the jail cell discuss LeoEpisode 01: Bobby & Mike see James’ bike outside Donna’s houseEpisode 03: Norma meets with Mr. Mooney in the RREpisode 04: Bobby & Shelly make out at Shelly’s, she gives him Leo’s bloody shirt, shows him her gunEpisode 06: Donna & James enter Jacoby’s, Bobby plants drugs on James’ bikeEpisode 07: Bobby calls Lucy (as Leo) tells her James is an “Easy Rider”Episode 12: Bobby, Shelly & Mr. PinkleEpisode 15: Bobby listens to tape of Leo & BenEpisode 19: Bobby hits on Audrey on his way to bring Ben pictures (mixed with Freshly Squeezed (Solo Clarinet))Episode 21: James meets Evelyn’s husband JefferyEpisode 24: Windom visits Donna as “Dr. Craig”Audrey’s Dance (Solo Rhodes) (5:16)Episode 02: Bobby & Mike arrive in woods to meet Leo (mixed with Laura Palmer’s Theme)Episode 05: Cooper and Truman at Jacques’ apartmentEpisode 05: Cooper finds Fleshworld at Jacques’ apartmentEpisode 08: Cooper and Truman find boot under porch board (few sounds mixed with Solo Percussion 3)Episode 10: Leland flicks a match into ashtray (few sounds mixed with Laura Palmer’s Theme (Bass Guitar Punctuation))Episode 12: Shelly at the hearing for Leo (one bar)Episode 12: Truman tells Shelly Leo is free to go home, Sternwood tells Cooper about the woodsEpisode 12: Maddy in bushes outside of Harold’sAudrey’s Dance (Synth & Vibraphone) (1:06)Episode 06: Cooper sets tape recorder for Waldo

Finally, there is the often used "Drums And Bass" version. The naming of the track confused me a bit at first. I originally thought "Freshly Squeezed" made more sense since it doesn't have that melodic component that we think of as "Audrey's Dance". But upon closer listen you realize that it's actually a "cleaner" version of the "clean" version, with that melodic component stripped out. (It's the "Clean" version without the "Solo Rhodes" added to it.) So, it's technically the base "Drums And Bass" track used for "Audrey's Dance". I originally had a choice of covers up for both names, but it's technically correct as "Audrey's Dance". No matter the name, its really nice to finally have this one!!Audrey’s Dance (Drums And Bass) (5:12)Episode 01: Cooper tells Bobby & Mike they are free to go, warn them not to hurt JamesEpisode 08: Truman, Cooper and Albert see Bobby in the hall at the hospitalEpisode 11: Cooper asks Truman for one of the Bookhouse BoysEpisode 12: Cooper wakes up & dictates to Diane, tells of dreaming of eating a “large, tasteless gumdrop”Episode 13: Ben’s office, Josie & Ben “stalemate”, Ben pays her 5 million dollars & they end their partnershipEpisode 19: Denise to Cooper, “Exactly how old is that girl?” about AudreyEpisode 20: Lucy tells Cooper she didn’t find any mention of Windom Earle or chess moves in the personalsEpisode 21: Audrey & Bobby at the Great Northern, she compares Ben’s mental state to an ice cubeEpisode 23: A celery eating Ben announces his plan to “save the pine weasel”Episode 24: Annie arrives at the RR, Norma introduces her to ShellyEpisode 24: Ben’s “Stop Ghostwood” speechEpisode 25: JJW tells Ben (eating a carrot) that he’s falling in love with AudreyEpisode 26: Ben addresses the Miss TP committee about the topic for the speechesEpisode 28: Ben tries to talk Audrey into making a speech at the Miss TP contest
